I had planned to go FI over the winter when I had plenty of time to work on Indigo. Unfortuantely, Procharger hasn't provided an ETA for 2013 kits...not sure what their hold-up is. I'm not finding a lot of other FI options though. Anyone got some ideas for an FI solution that a moderately handy DIY guy can do in the garage?

 

I'm curious what is different in a 11+ setup to a 13+ setup that the 11+ procharger build would not work?? There's a world of space under that hood on a 3.7, I can't imagine it's a 'fitting' problem.

 

Their seems to be something about the 13's for the 5.0 too. FordRacingParts has SC kits up to the '12, but not the 13.
Hellion has created a turbo kit for the 3.7, however I don't know if it is certified with the 2013.

 

I'm thinking someone at Ford jacked with the electronics, so the aftermarket FI hardware will fit but no one has software needed to complete the job. No "smoking gun" proof of this, but it seems to make sense with all the posts I've been reading.

Interestingly, this happened to the Mopar folks in the 2013 build year too. There, Mopar added encryption to the CANBUS engine / trans control so for a while no one could reflash the ECUs. Then someone figured it out and ta da! everyone was back in business again.

Still, with the HUGE aftermarket following the Mustang has, you'd think Ford would want to encourage the fan base not push them away. And people are doing good NA tunes, so that's another counter to the "electronics are the problem" angle.

One more thing to consider...the "add on" price of a 5.0 Coyote GT Mustang is about $8k. $7k will get you a Coyote crate motor and the electronics, so toss in $1k more for the exhaust work and we're back to $8k again. The 2011-2012 Procharger kit runs about $5k + $1k for exhaust work, so we're in the $6k range again. Maybe the FI manufacturers are thinking that the price differential between their offerings and FRPP is too close this time.

Whatever. If I had wanted a GT I could have gone that route at first. But I drove the V6PP car and the handling was magical. They are totally different animals to me, so I still like what I have.

Soooo.....wonder how fast one can spin a 3.7L motor before encountering "unintentional disassembly"...if you could keep the airflow up, adding RPM is an easy way to power...
